Lacazette reveals: Cherki s transformation last summer

Turning Net June 8th: Lyon's Lacazette talked in depth about the growth process of his teammate Cherki in an interview with the "Team News". Lacazette revealed that before he really met Cherki, due to the outside world's many questions about Cherki, judging from the performance he saw on TV, although he knew that Cherki was extremely talented, he had always been puzzled why he could not get more opportunities to play, and his impression of him was not good.

However, the 2024-2025 season became the year of transformation for Cherki. Lacazette sighed. Cherki seemed to suddenly get out of the way last summer and completely understood what he could contribute to the team. Lacazette believes that the key is that Cherki realized that "helping the team shine, he can shine." This change in mentality made Cherki perform very differently on the court.

In the just-concluded season, Cherki played 44 times for Lyon, scoring 12 goals and sending 20 assists, and his offensive performance was amazing. His excellent ball-handling and breakthrough ability always creates great threats in the frontcourt, and his passing vision is quite broad, creating many scoring opportunities for his teammates. Excellent performance has attracted the attention of giant clubs such as Manchester City, and Chelke is very likely to embark on a new journey this summer.

Lacazette also mentioned that Cherki was also very hard-working on off-court training and made a lot of efforts to maintain his condition. It is precisely through the double efforts on and off the court that Cherki was able to move from a highly questioned moment to a highlight that everyone saw, and completed a gorgeous turn from a potential star to a powerful player.
